• Only slept about 5 hours. Hopefully a nap this afternoon. Just hoping migraine doesn't come back.
• Tons of work to get done. Hoping to be productive.
• Whataburger for breakfast and have a crisp 44 oz Diet Coke.
• Go to library at some point, finished my book last night.
• Grocery store later

Stay cool out there.

Yesterday

Helped a lady across the fence change a car battery
Came out of retirement and scanned a dog - Got it home


Today

Last day of keeping Bruno the husky
Drop him off and pick up Ex at IAH
Try to vacuum up all the dog hair

Library is open today?

Town is jumping!

For some reason I get a kick out of watching the Aggies and their parents buying stuff at Wal Mart.

You had retired from chip scanning?

Slept great

Up early because wife was loud getting ready to take out dogs

Hullabaloo Diner for breakfast

Puppies are currently romping around the house playing

Need to go back into work

Need to practice guitar

Maybe some chores later

Yea. Got busy doing other stuff but my phone number is out there. I'll scan if it's convenient or close, but I don't beat the streets like I use to.

1:30-5:30!

Church, coffee, lunch and a catnap. A quiet, restful day it is in west Georgia/east Alabama.

• Stayed up way too late watching a doc about the Gilgo Beach serial killer
• Made some delicious coffee
• Today is my last day of freedom before grad school starts back up

Had a steak birthday dinner last night with Benny. "Night"... it was at 4 PM. 16oz sirloin, salad, baked potato, a couple of rolls, and I finished every morsel.

Came home, took a two hour nap, and then couldn't fall asleep again until 4 AM. So uncomfortably full all night. I've not eaten again since we got home. That was a *lot* of food.

Watching baseball and keeping track of this morning's bets. The model has made $100 bets on all 69 games completed since Tuesday, when I launched it. It wouldn't make me rich, but these play bets are against real sports books' lines. I also wouldn't bet on every game. The model bet on the Reds today, for example. I would never place that bet with actual $$$.

Hypothetical ROI: +8.99%

On my bucket list is to spend a day watching baseball in a Vegas sports book. I want to be able to make safe bets and have it be a free, or maybe even profitable, day.

Going grocery shopping in an hour or so. Maybe I'll buy a sandwich while I'm there.

Also, a pretty nice week ahead. I don't think we're done with 90s yet, but they're gone for a while.

I got my haircut this afternoon. The lady who cut my hair had an octopus tattoo at the base of her neck on her back.

Not that interesting.. but around it it said "Daddy's Octopvssy"
